Hi All,
I just installed the Windows 10 November update on my laptop, and the update removed my FTP client without any prior approval or warning.
Most of my work is web work, so this is the FTP client that has all of my password stored for all of my clients. It's part of the essential core of my laptop that allows me to make a living. I use it to work in the car when my son is napping, but I digress...
For me, this is a big deal and a major violation.
I was able to re-install it, and my settings were retained, which is good.
But, we've entered an era when a non-optional windows update can remove any program from your computer - not just stupid universal "apps" - without any prior permission to do so.
Next time, it could be PARIS or any other tool we use to make a living that could be deleted without warning.
If you haven't upgraded to Windows 10 already, don't.
I wish I used a Mac.
Mike
